I have my mother's old cedar chest that she didn't take care of over the years so it ended up her basement. She passed away in 1988 but I didn't take it then. My dad passed away 9 years ago so I had to take care of selling the house, so I brought the cedar chest over to my house. I let it air out for a few days in the garage because it had a mildew smell. But it all went away after leaving it open and cleaning it. So I'm going to follow what you did--hopefully not putting too much Poly on :) I will keep you posted.

I have just purchased a used Lane blanket chest with the intention of refinishing it. Since I am a complete novice, I am interested in all the mistakes that inform the whole process, since I am likely to make the same ones. Using shellac to make the paint adhere is one of those things I wasn’t aware of, and using a finishing coat with chalk paint, being careful not to put too much on also. As a senior, my back may not hold out, so this may take longer, but it is inspiring to see the beautiful end result. I will also remove the lock.

very nice. i am disappointed to hear that Lane made their cedar chests with less quality wood as i got my daughter a lane cedar chest for her 16th birthday back in 1990. she was also leery about that lock.

@BartimaeusTrilogyFan Жыл бұрын

Towards the end of the company's life, it definitely turned to cheaper materials to cut costs. Still went under, though, as have most America based furniture companies, unfortunately. But older cedar chests are still made of good materials. I've even come across a few from the 90's that were still made from solid wood.

There was sure a lot going on with that chest prior to the make over: Leaves, french provincial hardware (with a farmhouse style chest) curved skirt, and to top it off that cool pad! When did some style designer think all that was a good look? Much better now.

I have a 1956 Lane Cedar chest that I picked up from California State Surplus. I wanted find out more about it. They did send me replacement locks. Call them for replacement locks. Also I think that with the "drawer look" that simple modern style brass pulls would look very nice against the color you chose.

Love it! I am going to attempt my first ever refinish/refurbish; whatever it’s called…very soon. I have a very beautiful hope chest I got years ago that’s just been beaten up on the outside lol I am hoping to do a farmhouse cream and black hardware design so I’m kinda nervous. It’ll be the main eye candy of my living room lol so I am scared to mess it up. I just want one so bad but I can’t afford one so I thought maybe I can try and save my old one since it’s still a strong beautiful hope chest. Anyways, thank you for the knowledge and inspiration! I loved your end result…perfection! ❤

Beautiful! Each of your videos is so informative!! When you use Krud Kutter, how do you handle? Rinse off? Wipe off with wet cloth? etc. Trying to figure out if I need to rinse and how to best do this 🤔

I personally use a wet rag to scrub. And I try to always rinse with a clean rag afterwards. Especially if it’s really dirty.

This is super beautiful! How do you decide when to brush paint vs when to use the paint sprayer?

@ARayofSunlight 2 жыл бұрын

It’s just based off what I feel like doing that day. If i was doing all of this for myself and not sharing videos, I would spray most everything. That’s just my preference. But since I’m sharing, I try to mix it up more often.

If the paint was self-leveling, why were there brush strokes after the first coat? Learning here!

Why did you brush in instead of spray?

@ARayofSunlight 2 жыл бұрын

Well... I didn’t want to deal with taping off the inside of the chest that day. But also, the videos where I brush the paint on tend to do better than when I spray it on. 🙈 Oh, and this paint says it self levels, so I wanted to see how well it worked. If it was for myself, I probably would have sucked it up and taped off so I could spray it.

Lane chests were made in America as far as I am aware, up until 2001 when the company closed its doors. MDF stuff is made over here, too.
